Dont waste your money

Steve_O, Jun 2025

This is a total waste of time. Terrible instructions, plus the app keeps closing and then you have to start all over, it doesn’t remember your previous answers! We quit after 2nd question, completely lost and would advise anyone to find any other tour

Response from Host, Jun 2025

We're sorry you didn't have a good time with our tour. It is supposed to save every 5 minutes, that way your last answer would always be saved. We will double-check the settings as this should not have occurred.
